Sunday Morning Coffee: The Mind of Christ

This is a verse that leads me to some very deep thinking: Colossians 3:16: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord“.  The word of Christ tells us the mind of Christ. If you want to know what He thinks, go find your Bible. My favorite “songs, hymns, and…

Psalm 104:33-34 — Today's Verse for Monday, January 6, 2025

[majestativa]

I live all the daytime In faith and in might And in holy fire I die every night.

I know I'm up too late when I start having vivid Past Life Feelings triggered by one specific folk song

[morgulscribe]

In a world where music has power, what happens when one sings a hymn to a Dark God?

Somewhere in Nurn, the Land of Mordor....

The great hall of the School of Industry was bustling with activity as the students settled in for breakfast, the lively drone of dozens of conversations filling the air like a hive of merry bees. Suddenly, a hush fell over the hall as the discordant sound of the gong rang out in a command for silence. As the crowd waited expectantly, Assistant Headmistress Akeya strode to the edge of the raised dais situated at the northern end of the hall.

"For those who are new here, we give each day an auspicious start by giving praise to the Lord of Middle-earth," Akeya announced, clasping her hands together before her heart. "I will first sing the words of this song in Westron, and then again in the language of Mordor."

The Lord of Middle-earth rules over all From the highest mountain to deepest hall Gifts He gives and knowledge He bestows To the worthy. Our loyalty we owe To the King of Men, the Lord of the Earth Whom we serve with rejoicing and mirth His Eye watches over each and every one From the crack of dawn until day is done Songs of praise we sing, His will we obey As we wait expectantly for the day When He is exalted in every land And all Middle-earth obeys His command!

As the students around them lifted up their voices in song, Elfhild and Elffled exchanged horrified glances. Was this to be their life now, forced to sing songs of adoration to the Dread Enemy at least once a day? The faces of many of their fellow students were filled with zealous devotion, while others looked stoically ahead, their wide eyes filled with fear as their trembling lips mouthed the lyrics. Some, those who were apathetic and jaded by life, seemed bored by the whole spectacle, as though the words of the paean had no more meaning than a list of specials on the menu of an orc tavern.

Slowly at first, almost imperceptibly, the atmosphere in the chamber began to change. It was as though an unseen power had begun to manifest itself in the room, growing ever stronger in might as over a hundred voices united as one. The twins felt this power pulsing around them, subtle at first like the tension in the air before a storm, and then growing in dreadful magnitude until the tempest raged all around them. For a few brief moments, they felt dizzy, as though they were about to be pulled into the whirlwind and spun out into oblivion.

And then the song ended, and all was as it had been before. Staggering slightly, Elfhild put a shaky hand to her forehead. What had just happened? She looked uncertainly at Elffled, who shook her head in confusion, equally as bewildered.

The Heart of True Praise: The Psalmist as Our Example in Psalm 119

I believe Scripture is divinely inspired. Every human author, guided by the Holy Spirit, penned the only word that is profitable for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). In the inspiration of Scripture, God felt it necessary to provide songs written at the commission of His…

I don't use Spotify, but here's my most played song of the year.

last year when i posted this people melted down and went out of their way to misinterpret the purpose of this exercise and just say insane racist shit; the goal is to get you to reflect on whether or not you engage with black music and black art and artists, and if you seem to avoid doing so, to ask yourself why that is

if you would like, feel free to share the song/artist in the tags to share recs! always easier to begin or continue diversifying your listening habits with suggestions :)

DAYS OF AMSTERDAM CHANTING: A POEM FROM A CHANT SHARED

Reading the other day about the deeper meanings of the word Amen, a memory surfaced. A memory from the summer of 1971. I was seventeen years old; young yes. I was hitchhiking around Europe, and as for this memory in particular, I was sitting day by day in the Dam Square in Amsterdam. The memory of which we are speaking involves chanting. One day (or it could have been more), chanting, along…
